Interhouse Carnivals

Throughout the school year each student is given the opportunity to represent their house in various carnivals and sporting activities. Each student is assigned a house upon enrolment and given the opportunity to nominate for events at each of our Interhouse Carnivals.

Interhouse Carnivals are held early in the term:

Term 1 - Swimming (Week 2)

Term 2 - Cross Country (Week 1)

Term 3 - Track and Field (Week 2)

From these carnivals, a school team is selected to attend the district carnival. Students who performs well are then selected to represent the district at the regional carnival. At the regional carnival students who attain qualifying standards can be selected to represent Metropolitan North at State Championships.

Sport, Heath And Physical Education (SHAPE) Committee

The SHAPE Committee aims to support teachers and students participating in areas of sport and physical education in the school and develop "school spirit" in all sporting activities.

Over the years the SHAPE Committee has worked to provide additional sports coaching, elite sports camps, annual Sports Ceremony, uniforms and equipment. They raise funds for this area of the curriculum by running barbeques at various sporting events.

The SHAPE Committee usually meets on the second or third Tuesday night of each month, as advised in the School Newsletter and the Website Events Calendar, in the Sports Hall at 7.00 pm. Parents who are interested in promoting sport within the school are welcome to attend or contact the SHAPE Committee on shapetgshs@outlook.com.
